Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
When Max Klein (Jeff Bridges) finds himself facing imminent death as his plane hurls toward the ground, he finds inner calm and release from fear in his acceptance of his own unavoidable end. His panic erased, he helps other passengers to relax, and when he survives the impact, to escape. What follows is his difficult and complex journey back to emotional and spiritual equilibrium. Along the way he helps Carla (Rosie Perez), a woman smashed by the belief that her infant son's death in the accident was the direct result of her inability to hold him tightly enough, and alienates his wife, Laura (Isabella Rossellini), who tries desperately to understand what he's experiencing. Peter Weir's film is emotionally intense in an absolutely unsentimental way (very rare), and the complexity of the protagonist's experience is refreshing (if you don't mind feeling deeply). The handling of the crash sequences is chilling in an unsensational way, and the directing in general is a triumph of story-serving restraint. Not the usual Hollywood fare, but intensely rewarding for those who are tired of mind candy. --James McGrath

- Better DVD on the way??
As is true for many of the people who wrote here, for me, seeing FEARLESS in its original, very short-term theatrical release was literally a stunning experience. It is one of those films that one finishes watching, and then walks back out into the sunlight (or the night) almost completely unaware of their surroundings, as you carry the world of the film with you for a long time, and then slowly re-enter your own life. For me, it was a life-changing experience, and ever since it was first released, ... Read More

- Widescreen Dilemma
This is a magnificent movie, and it deserves to be seen exactly as it was shown in theaters. Does this disc fit the bill? Yes and no.

Movies that are shot in anamorphic widescreen, usually with a screen ratio greater than 1.85:1 (or approximately 16:9, like a widesceen television), are cropped at the sides, or "panned and scanned" to fit a conventional 4:3 television screen. Most movies (but not all) shown at 1.85:1, such as "Fearless" was in its initial distribution, are not shot "wide." ... Read More

- An underappreciated masterpiece
Peter Weir has made some great films, as has Jeff Bridges. But I think this is the finest work for both. Weir should've won a Best Director Oscar for the plane crash scene alone. Bridges pulls off a character that you can't help rooting for, no matter how much he wants to push us away. Outstanding acting all-around, even in small parts by Tom Hulce, John Turtorro and Benicio Del Toro, as well as Isabella Rosellini as Bridge's wife who's on the outside looking in. But it's Bridges and Rosie Perez who pull ... Read More

- Into the Tunnel - Peter Weir's Film on Death and Life
This is Peter Weir's brilliant film about post-traumatic stress syndrome in the survivors of a fatal plane crash. The continually under-rated Jeff Bridges gives a powerful performance as Max, a survivor locked in another dimension, helping others triumph over their PTSS but not acknowledging his own which impacts on his relationship with his wife (Isabella in a powerful performance as devoted but helpless and confused wife), his family, friends, professional life. His devotion to another survivor (a superb ... Read More

- Fearless
Weir's sadly overlooked 1993 drama is a probing, beautifully acted psychological character study dressed up in transcendent garb. Max's newfound power--an unnerving "fearlessness" - initially enables him to assist his fellow passengers, and is the basis upon which he counsels Carla, but the sea change in his personality has also alienated him from his wife and family. The Oscar-nominated Perez really delivers here in the demanding role of a distraught, grief-stricken mother, and her scenes with Bridges are ... Read More
